I have a Texecom Premier Elite panel that was at software version 2.x. I decided I wanted to be able to use the new Texecom Connect app and so decided to do 3 things: 1. I bought the cable and flasher interface to enable me to use my laptop to upgrade software to firmware 6.2. According to...

I have an old Worcester Bosch Greenstart HE plus combi boiler. 3 months ago the shower, which has been working perfectly for last 5 years, would start off at correct temperature and then after about 2 minutes would run cold. Just as it was running cold I heard the boiler fire up and after...

I am after some advice. I installed my current premier elite system in 2016 and used a comwifi module to enable me to use Wintex and the ios app. I would like to upgrade the Elite 48 panel from firmware 2.11 to the latest v5. I will also replace the comwifi with a smartcom. So I have a few...

Hi, Looking for some information on powering a log cabin but also a garage which is between the cabin and house. My intention is to run armoured cable to the pod via the garage. Once finished I will get an electrician to check, test and connect to the consumer unit. So the question is what...

I wonder whether anyone can help. About 5 years ago I replaced our cloakroom toilet and chose a Tavistock Structure Back to the wall toilet with soft-close lid. Since I installed it the soft close hasn't been that effective, so during lock-down I thought I'd remove the seat and see if there...

I have an issue with a tamper alarm on my wireless external sounder. Yesterday in the middle of the day the alarm went off on the keypad whilst alarm not set. After silencing it it told me I had a tamper alarm on the external sounder. After resetting it happened again at about 9pm. I checked...

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced same issue. I fitted a premier elite wireless system just over 3 years ago. After about a year I had a battery fault on the internal sounder. Took the 8 lithium batteries out and tested them 7 were at 1.7v or above, one was 0.1v. Now after...

I had a battery failure on my internal sounder, so put the system into engineering mode and changed out the 8 batteries (one had failed with no measurable voltage). Having put the system back into normal mode all appeared to be fine. However having checked the Wintex Ricochet Monitor one of...

I need to replace my wooden garage doors and thought I'd replace the frame at the same time. However looking at them I'm wondering if there is a lintel or is there reliance on the wooden frame. The house was built in 1935 and originally above the garage there was a non full height storage...

I've had electrical underfloor heating in the bathroom for 4 years and its been working perfectly. We went away for a couple of days and I set the Devireg touch to holiday mode so that it would come on when we got back. When we returned the RCD that supplies the underfloor heating (and the...

I have a Worcester Bosch HE Plus 35 working with a TR2 thermostat. We have noticed that the heating never seems to fire up when we 'feel' it should. So I thought I would check out whats happening. I set the TR2 to 20 degrees and then looked at the Info display on the boiler which says that...

Hi - I am installing new kitchen and changing position of sink. Access to soil pipe is 3m from sink and will run behind units with one 90 degree bend. At end of run just before soil path the waste will pick up washing machine and dishwasher waste. Would 40mm pipe be sufficient with...

I am trying to replace the timer on a Lamona HJA3650 oven (think its a Howdens make). The problem is that to remove the timer you need to remove the stainless steel fascia and I cannot see how its held on. Taking the two rotary knobs off do NOT reveal any screws and I cannot see any screws...

About 12 months ago I fitted a Texecom Premier Elite wireless system. The system commissioned without any problems and walk test was fine. The system consists of 6 PIR's, 4 Dual and 2 Quads. Since then I have had 4 false alarms, all on the Quad PIR's . The first 2 (about 2 months apart was on...

I am trying to tighten a B&Q monobloc tap fitted about 3 or 4 years ago. Its not the usual arrangement where you can just tighten a locking nut over a securing plate but has a nut built into the securing plate meaning that you turn the whole thing - but obviously you cant do that with the...

I have the above boiler and am getting a flow rate (measured from 2 different taps) of just over 7 litres / minute. The quoted flow rate (with a 35 degree rise) is 14.6 litres / minute. I realise with outside temperatures (and therefore water input temp) low that I wont get 14.6 l/m but should...

I am hoping someone can help - suspect this is down to my setup. I have installed a Texecom premier Elite and all has been working fine - or so I thought.... When I leave the house use the code and arm it all works well and the system alarms properly. I also set up a nightime area so that all...

Hi Have had Texecom Premier Elite fitted for a month now, all working fine with app telling me when system is armed, disarmed and remote UDL started BUT Today I had a false alarm while out and did NOT get an indication on the app - only realised when I got home and external sounder was...

I have had to clear the feed from the kitchen to the main sewage inspection chamber in my garden. Only a short distance so it was quick to do. On lifting the inspection chamber I assumed I would find this was exposing the main sewage run for the other house in the road; so an inlet and outlet...

I have installed a Texecom Premier Elite system and its all working fine. I connect to it through the ComWifi unit. I set up the app so that I can receive notifications but every 2 or 3 days the app stops working. I am no longer able to receive notifications or access the keypad through the...
